Ambience Venue Styling Bristol

Hey you lovely lot, it’s been a while 👋🏼

We’ve been very quiet on here of late, and it’s all because we fell crazy in love with a tiny little human who has totally and utterly consumed us!

Our beautiful little boy; Otto Blue surprised us earlier than expected (the hospital bag wasn’t even packed 🙈)and it’s safe to say we have been in a bit of a baby bubble.
For those of you that have children, I’m sure you will agree there is absolutely nothing that can prepare you for it!

So after 3 months of a constant cycle of feed, sleep, repeat, endless hours of rocking, white noise, p**p explosions, colic episodes, the never ending washing and sterilising…not to mention the sleepless nights, I thought I would try and get back to some sort of normality (as if life will ever be normal again!)

So I am happily responding to all your enquiries (albeit a little bit slower than normal) and still have lots of availability for 2022, so do please get in touch for a quote🥂

Make sure you swipe to check out the little bundle of joy, captured perfectly by the amazing 💙

I’ve been a little quiet on here recently, as this third trimester has really got the better of me, and being heavily pregnant in this tropical heat is really not the one 🥵 I’ve spent most of my time with my hair in a messy top knot, trying to keep my huge swollen feet elevated (that can no longer fit into any of my shoes btw) and taking gaviscon like it’s going out of fashion!

But this gorgeous outdoor set up by my talented colleague Holly has certainly perked me up, and is giving me all of the Mediterranean feels. I’m suddenly transported to days gone by where I’m 2 stone lighter, worshipping this summer heat, wearing something super cool and slinky, wavy hair lusciously trailing down my back, with my signature red lip on, sipping on a refreshing lemon gin fizz and laughing uncontrollably with friends.

I mean what couple wouldn’t want this luxurious set up with a laid back feel on their big day!

There’s nothing more rewarding than hearing how happy our couples are with our work.
A lot of planning goes into making sure your decor and styling is perfect for your big day, so when we get kind words like this drop into our inbox it really does put the biggest smile on our face 🤍

BEAUTIFUL BACKDROPS

A backdrop such as an arch or moongate can really have a big impact. It provides a glorious focal point, and nicely frames the wedding couple as they say those all important I do’s. Not to mention it makes for some fabulous photos too.

We love using chiffon drapes to add a softer touch with a luxe feel, but the styling options are endless!

Venue - The Bristol Hotel

We love mixing a variety of candle options with bud vases filled with pretty florals. The different heights, colours and textures make for a captivating arrangement and add some serious style to your table.

Flavour of the month 🌿

Today we had the pleasure of helping with a beautiful set up , we used our gorgeous sage green chiffon drapes, mixed with lots of fresh greenery and wild flowers.

Tomorrow will see us set up our first wedding of the year at the stunning and we couldn’t be more excited to be using sage green again…make sure you check out our stories for all of the behind the scenes!

All the pretties 💕

I’ve been a little quiet on here recently sorry, mainly due to being super busy and the fact that I am growing a little human in my tummy (which I am totally not prepared for by the way😬).
Being in the third trimester, it’s safe to say the tiredness is real 😴, helped along by the fact that the sun I was not so long ago complaining about, has now decided to show up, but is making it impossible for me to get any sleep! we even skipped the summer duvet and jumped straight from the 15 tog goose down to a flat white sheet, but here I am tossing and turning every 10 minutes with the biggest sausage shaped pillow you’ve ever seen in your life!

In other news, I also dropped my phone down the stairs last week as pregnancy seems to have turned me into a complete klutz too 🙈 It was pretty much dead, so naturally I felt like I’d lost my right arm and I was completely out of sync for a few days! At least it forced me to make that call to EE to sort out my long overdue upgrade, but is there anything quite worse than getting a new phone and trying a million times to transfer everything over from the “cloud”?

Amongst all the madness and mayhem recently, it’s my little baby bump (actually not so little now 😳) that keeps me going with every little movement and kick, reminding me that life really is the most precious gift and we are capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for💕

Happy Bank Holiday ☀️

Last week was so busy, I can barely remember what day it is. My husband and I even forgot our wedding anniversary, and ended up celebrating with a last minute pizza takeaway and watching the friends reunion!

We have had an influx of enquiries, have done so many consultations and confirmed new bookings. We made a trip to the wholesaler and bought some new stock with and even squeezed in a visit to the beautiful

With such a busy work schedule, we still managed a bit of down time, and met up with family from Bristol and Wales who we hadn’t seen for 18 months, and it was just so lovely 🥰

It’s set to be another glorious day in the south west, so we intend on making the most of the rest of the bank holiday!

Don’t forget your sunscreen kids!

Adding stationary to your table setting can really have a nice impact and allows you to set the tone and really draw on your chosen style or theme.

has nailed this contemporary menu card and place setting which has been carefully styled against a modern dinner plate and elegant beaded charger. The wheat coloured linen napkin placed underneath adds that extra attention to detail that every on-trend couple are looking for 👌🏽

It’s said that when all restrictions are lifted on the 21st June 🤞🏽we will see a spirit and culture evolve much like that of the roaring twenties!
After almost a year and a half of confinement and constraints and making it through a pandemic, it’s easy to see why we are headed for the biggest party of the century!
Start dusting off those dancing shoes peeps, it’s gonna be go big or go home!

On Wednesday’s we wear pink 🌸

How heavenly are these tablescapes! Pink is a colour that has always been popular for weddings and one that will stand the the test of time. At the moment dusty pink and pastels are proving to be a big hit and we are all for it.
These rustic tables and cross back chairs look perfectly sugar coated by these beautifully lined blooms and complimentary accessories.

With so many of us connecting with nature throughout this last year of living through a pandemic, it’s no surprise that outdoor events and weddings are a huge draw.

We are also seeing so many couples opting to bring the outdoors in, with lots of foliage, living plants and big floral installations. We all know that nature is good for the soul, and so incorporating lots of elements into your big day can only make you feel good right!

You can still catch our style edit on how nature is so beneficial for our mental health,over on our website this week.

We’ve had a busy week of consultations this week, meeting some lovely brides and couples, and we can’t wait to start getting to work on some exciting plans!

This weekend we are having some time out in Dorset to celebrate my husbands birthday, and it’s so nice to be soaking up some sea air again, the sun even decided to make an appearance for us today too ☀️

Colour Scheme

Colours form such an important part of your day and are usually one of the first things couples decide on when planning their wedding.
It’s common for people to go for their favourite colour as their main theme, or it may depend on what time of year the event is and so something seasonal may strike more of an interest.
With a background in fashion and a husband who is colour blind (I’ve been asked daily for the last 12 years “does this go with this?”) I absolutely love helping couples colour coordinate!

If you are looking for some colour inspiration for your big day then head over to our website where we have done a feature all about colour in our style edit.

We’re here to help you get the most out of styling your chosen venue and give you the inspiration to make sure no stone is left unturned.

A touch of class 💫

This banquet table set up we styled for just exudes class and elegance and looks fit for a king or queen!

The long line of gorgeous hydrangeas are perfectly complimented by our glass floating candle holders, and the beautifully toned tapered candles really lift everything, providing some height and character.
It’s a traditional set up with a contemporary edge and a look that will be timeless.

Happy Bank Holiday 🌿

We’re currently getting some well needed R&R after a busy few months, and have come down to beautiful Christchurch, Dorset where we have a holiday home. We’ve done some forest walks, have overindulged on some delicious food and are completely lapping up that sea air.
On that note, it’s time for a morning stroll along the beach, then coffee and croissants!

Venue Shoutout 📣

Last month we had the pleasure of working with and styling a ceremony and reception set up in the lovely William Jessop Suite.

Rustic Barn Luxe 💫

I’m a sucker for a barn venue, there’s just so much you can do with the space and it gives couples such a wide range of styling solutions due to the blank canvas.
I love how our talented stylist Kerry has gone super modish with beautiful pink drapes and linens but has also kept the authenticity by using a wooden arch backdrop and wooden pillars to display the gorgeous floristry.

Eeeek, we’re going out for dinner tonight, a meal I actually don’t have to cook, wahoo! Reservation is at 6pm but I’m starting to get ready now as I’m too excited 😬I’ll be wrapping up warm though as it’s not quite Miami nights in the West Country, but that still won’t stop us from having a good time!

Our clear beaded charger plates will add a touch of luxe to your table setting and we think they look striking paired with your chosen dinnerware or layered with a coloured napkin, place name or some beautiful stationary.

Don’t hesitate to contact us for a free consultation, we still have availability for this year and would love to help with all of decor and styling requirements 🤍

Counting the days down till our dinner reservation this Saturday and hoping they have outdoor heaters 🤞🏽

It’s been so busy that I haven’t even had time to think about booking my usual hair and nail appointments, so no doubt I’ll be at the back of a very long waiting list now. Oh well if I have to dine out looking like Hagrid then so be it, I’m just so darn excited to have somebody cooking for me, like a kid in a candy shop!

Variety is the spice of life!

If you are unsure about what style and decor you want to go for on your tables then don’t be afraid to mix it up!
Not everything has to be completely uniform, you can use a mix of varying candles, vases and flower designs to make for a much more interesting combo across different tables.
We also love the styling of this bare long banquet table with cross back chairs in amongst the round tables with chivari chairs, it’s an absolute show stopper!

This weeks style edit is all about something blue 💙
I’m totally bias on this one as my own wedding colour scheme was dusty blue, it’s such a classic, timeless colour, and one that is currently trending.
This table setting has certainly made the most of using colour by mixing different tones in the candles, votives, chair drapes and linens, it’s simply gorgeous!
Why not grab yourself a cuppa and a cheeky choccie biscuit and head on over to our website for more beautiful blue inspiration.
